Maquis Canastero (Asthenes heterura)
About the Maquis Canastero
The maquis canastero (Asthenes heterura) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina and Bolivia. The maquis canastero is monotypic. At times it has variously been treated as a subspecies of the canyon canastero (A. pudibunda), as conspecific with the rusty-fronted canastero (A. ottonis), and as a superspecies with the two of them. However, it might be most closely related to the very similar sharp-billed canastero (A. pyrrholeuca).
